Hi Gianni,
There are tons of different career opportunities for business majors. You can emphasis in accounting and work towards becoming an accountant. You can emphasis in management and work towards managing a company. You can emphasis in economics, business administration, finance, etc. Honestly, the possibilities are endless. Along with this, if you focus in one area of business and you want to change your emphasis, it's not too difficult. For an example, I started with an emphasis in business administration and was able to relatively easily transition to an emphasis in accounting. There are plenty of different opportunities to explore as a business major. I wish you the best of luck!

Hi Gianni!
With a business degree, the world is wide open for you. There are many exciting career paths where your degree will come in handy. Of course, companies like Verizon, Samsung, and Google are always on the lookout for people with business skills in areas like accounting, HR, operations, and finance. But did you know that restaurants and schools need these skills too? They're not just for chefs or teachers. A business career offers endless opportunities because the skills you gain are valuable everywhere. From communication and leadership to time management and decision-making, these are tools you can use in any job.
Plus, big companies like Verizon have so many different roles to explore. I started as an administrative assistant and now I'm an associate director. A friend of mine began as a field technician, switched to marketing, and eventually became the chief of staff for a Vice President. You can achieve anything you set your mind to, and your business degree will give you a solid start for whatever path you choose!
